BOCAS DEL TORO, PANAMA

Bahia Honda, a Ngabe community

Bahia Honda, where the project TIMOROGO project is located, is a village in the heart of the bay of the same name, between the islands of Bastimentos and Solarte. Their houses are distributed along the coasts of both islands, not showing the typical image of other communities in the region. What might be considered the core of the village consists of a community ranch, a chapel, the elementary school, the school lunchroom and a local restaurant.

The main occupations of the inhabitants are the subsistence fishing and agriculture, with tourism being an activity that has been growing lately.

The TIMOROGO project involves several families of the community to manage the restaurant, the handicraft production and a couple of tours, the "Sloth Trail", one of the main attractions of the islands, and the "Bastimentos Lagoon Trail".
